[Beginner] CareAce Class 01: Samsung Jack Buttons and Symbols

We understand that not everyone is not equipped with killer knowledge about their mobile device, therefore, we have decided to put together a series of tips guide for users at different levels (beginner, intermediate and advance).Â To kick off, we are going to address the Samsung Jack.

Welcome to the very first lesson of CareAce.netâ€™s Beginnersâ€™ Guide! In this lesson, we will address the buttons and its functions as well as the meanings of some symbols for the Samsung Jack.

The distinctive feature of a smartphone (as opposed to a PocketPC) is in its keyboard alongside other hardware buttons. It can be a little intimidating to start using the device. Which button should I press? Where is the phone-looking button to make calls or end calls?

01. The Keypad on the Samsung Jack

To get you started, you need to know what kind of keypad you’re using. Samsung Jack uses the QWERTY keypad which mirrors most of the real full-sized PC keyboard. This allows for easy and quick text entry for users who are already used to keyboards.

The keys are labelled with alphabet on the lower half and numbers or symbols on the upper half. Press the key to enter the character you want. Use CAP LOCK (5) to enter characters in either lower or upper case. And use Function button (4) to enter number or symbol above character.

Now here are 10 simple explanations of the commonly used buttons (please refer to the image):

Voicemail: The number 1 is assigned to voicemail by default. Press and hold will dial to your voicemail.
